[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid was admitted early to an Ivy this year with 4 B+ grades 9-11th and 2 first quarter senior year B+ grades (making a total of 6 B's). White kid with no hooks at all, applied for financial aid, rigorous NYC private.

Top rigor in all subjects (one of maybe 10 kids at the school in this category). The 2 first quarter senior year B+ grades were in classes that only about 5 kids take each year (because of rigor). My kid has since raised them to As but they were Bs at the time the grades were sent for the ED application as there had only been a single assessment in each class. [/quote]

Would you mind sharing your kid's GPA?  Also what major (or at least share humanities vs engr) vs which classes are the Bs from?  Thx[/quote]

GPA was 3.89 end of junior year. Bs were in a tech class required of all freshmen, math classes and a 400 level English class taken junior year. 400 level classes are humanities seminar classes mostly taken senior year, sometimes by juniors. They're known to be  rigorous and taking more than 3 requires approval. DC will major in French. [/quote]
